Speeds ?

How can your test say 5.1gb to my router but when I'm doing various speed tests I'm getting a thing bewteeen 1/2 gb.

im supposed to receive 5gb with a guarantee of 2.5 which is the lower Price band as well ! But im only getting on average in my house 1.5gb

i just don't see it can be 5gb to the router bit south lower on my speed tests

@JABAJAWS This will help you, be sure that you have at least a 10Gb/s network to do so!

@JABAJAWS

As @JimM1 indicates, 'testing' a broadband connection like that requires a device with at least a 5Gbs ethernet chipset (which is still very rare) and a Cat6A or better ethernet cable. What are you using?
